Three-in-one

So, I'm home from work today with a sore throat - can't even talk - and a hacking cough. Welcome winter! A nap and  some hot lemon toddies later, I ended up in my craft room before heading back for yet another nap. I've ended up doing something I rarely do, which is to make a card that fits more than one, or at most two, challenges, even if it was accidentally!

Earlier in the week, I'd fallen in love with the colour combination at Hand Stamped Sentiments.


I thought that combination might go well with Just Add Ink's challenge: Just Add Sympathy. Then, when I laid out the card before assembling it, I realised I'd managed to use the sketch at Sunday Stamps without even meaning to. It must have stayed with me after I browsed the morning'g blog posts and my brain more fuddled than I'd realised!





And now, time for another snooze!

  5. Jan this is so gorgeous,you've used that sketch and colour combo perfectly!! Love the scene you created and its such a lovely, thoughtful sympathy card. I'm terrible at making them and luckily I haven't needed many lately. We had our first frost this morning which was a quick reminder that Summer has finished, even though I'm now sitting in shorts and a t-shirt. Looking forward to a few rainy cold days of card making. So glad you joined us at Just Add Ink, always look forward to your entries!!
